once it gets cold, if I let the temp in the house drop too low it takes days to get it back up.

	Jamie and Jason, both 32, 6 kids...our furnace has been on for maybe a month now...i think i would usually have waited but with having 2 littles (3 months old) i turned it on sooner..it's harder for them to stay warm and bundled like the older members of the family (nt) - serialmommy 11/05/2009 20:35
	Caroline & Melvin, both 36, with 6 kids...I try to wait until November to turn it on as a rule, but this year I broke down and turned it on the last week of October when the temp in the house got to about 62. Not looking forward to the next gas bill! (nt) - ckmom 11/06/2009 03:15
	Kim (44) and Tom (51) with 12 kids....9 still at home. We kick it on briefly some mornings to kill the dampness in here. We wait to turn it on for good as long as possible which will be really soon I think. (nt) - kmomof12 11/17/2009 09:51
